This morning, 6 March, the Russian army attacked Odesa while Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis were visiting the city. As a result of the shelling, people were killed and wounded.
"We saw this attack today. You see who we are dealing with, they don't care where they hit. I know that there were victims today, I don't know all the details yet, but I know that there are dead and wounded," President Zelenskyy said, according to Suspilne.
He stressed that Ukraine needs an air defence system to protect civilians, as the Russian army does not care where it strikes, and people get killed.
"These are military, civilians, international guests - these people (Russians - ed.) do not care. They have either gone mad or have no control over the actions of their terrorist army. This means that we need to defend ourselves first and foremost. Best of all, it is an air defence system," the president added.
